    88 toyota single cab, go fast?

    Ive heard nothing but great things about JD fab, I dont think youd be disappointed with their stuff. That said, If I were in your shoes Id happily pick up the TC kit linked above (if you have the funds for it - no shame in having to save money to afford to build these dumbass trucks in...

    You cant go wrong with the caddy kit(s). I ran the older torsion bar kit with just an 8" bypass on my 89 4runner and it did great. As long as you realize youve only got 12" of travel and youre not rocking a trophy truck, youll be stoked.

    06 Ranger 4x4 Clown Truck

    I'd sell it and buy a badass built/linked bronco! Seriously though, just throw another trans in it and drive it nicely.

    I vote for the bed rack and tent cot idea. Its not like youre pressed for time when it comes to changing a tire and getting to your spare... whats another 10 minutes to move the tent cot, roll the tire over the rack, throw the flat up in the bed, and strap the tent cot back down? As for the...

    99 4runner Overheating in sand washes

    How bad was it overheating? Were you reading the actual temp (OBDII port) or going off the dash? Simple stuff 1st: Check the coolant level (is it full and topped-off/burped after the rebuild and new radiator?), rad cap (is it old? Sealing? Holding pressure?), thermostat (did you replace it...

    New guy

    Is there enough room in there to open the drivers door for you to squeeze in/out (skinny person problems), or do you have to "Dukes of Hazzard" in/out?

    Personally, I'd err on the side of caution and run some kind of 3/4" spacer. I'd rather possibly lose a tiny bit of travel (3/4"?) VS my shocks be the new bump stop and get the raptor frame curve, or bent/broken shock mounts, hurt the shocks, etc.
